SHRI-Engage:
New Employment Contract Law
in China George Copper and Isabelle Wan will be speaking on the new PRC Employment Contract Law, which will come into effect on 1 January 2008. This law has been widely seen as a ground-breaking piece of legislation that not only revolutionises the rights of employees, but also creates immense hurdles for employers to overcome both during the transition and implementation periods. Since its promulgation, Ms Wan has been assisting her clients to ensure that their HR policies are legally compliant with the requirements of the new law. The presentations cover the following areas:
Speakers: George completed his law degree, with Honours, at The University of Melbourne in 1996. He commenced his legal career in the Northern Territory of Australia, completing Articles and was admitted to practice in May 1998. George returned to Melbourne in 2000 to specialise in Employee Relations. He has been with Freehills since April 2001 and was promoted to Senior Associate in 2003. George is now based in Singapore and leads Freehills’ Workplace Law & Advisory – Asia practice. He works with major corporations, financial institutions and government clients to identify and implement solutions to their workplace law and strategy issues across the Asian region. Isabelle is a graduate of the Peking University School of Law and has 16 years experience in advising clients on direct investments in China. She also advises the Ministry of Labour and Society Security and All-China Federation of Trade Unions on the landmark PRC Employment Contract Law (effective as of 1 January 2008) She is the first non-PRC national to serve as Director of the China Labour Law Studies Association, following her nomination by the PRC Ministry of Labour and Social Security (MOLSS) in 1997. She was nominated as Director of China Social Security Law Research Institute in 2006 and is the only representative from Hong Kong.
